22 veterans a day commit suicide. Even more live under a dark cloud of post-traumatic stress disorder. Operation Ruck It, with Ma22 veterans nonprofit, is a 22k ruck of the Jersey Shore to raise funds and awareness of this epidemic! Join us Sept 22, 2018!

Route is Brick VFW to Mantoloking Road, east to Ocean Avenue,
north to Bay Head and then south to Chadwich Beach area before
heading north to the Mantoloking Road bridge and back to the Brick
VFW. Water stops approximately every 2.5 miles.

$22 to register. Registrants are invited to enjoy food and
refreshments at the finish line party and awards ceremony afterward
at the VFW picnic grove. Beer tickets for sale for those 21 and up
with ID.

Operation Ruck It is a 22-kilometer ruck-style walk along the Jersey
Shore to raise funds for the 22-a-day veteran suicide epidemic and
post-traumatic stress disorder.

Our organization, Ma Deuce Deuce (Ma22,) works to raise awareness of
this epidemic and connect veterans with restorative resources at no
cost to them. We aim to restore the hearts of those veterans facing
depression, anxiety, stress and isolation, suicidal thoughts and
trauma from post-traumatic stress disorder.

With Operation Ruck It on September 22, 2018, participants will be
directly contributing to our organization to achieve its mission.

Please consider joining us on September 22, 2018 as a rucker! We will
be starting at the Brick VFW Post on Adamston Road, heading onto the
barrier island through the beautiful towns of Bay Head, Mantoloking,
Chadwick Beach and the northern beaches of Brick and Toms River before
heading to the finish line party back at the Brick VFW!

You can Ruck the Jersey Shore with us! Ruckers have a $22 minimum
registration, and those who register before September 10 and raise
above the minimum will also receive a t-shirt. If you'd simply like to
contribute with a donation and not ruck the 22k, we appreciate your donation!
